>Have you given any thought to trying to this with DSL?<

Not really.I tried it, but i gave up very early.
Because DSL uses miniroot.gz. Using miniroot you have to tell the kernel about it.
But it don't work, because the you must use kernel options to tell the kernel about it, the Netvista firmware didn#t allow it.

By the way, i have a Netvista 2800 (8364) too, DSL works fine on it.

I got it to work by using DSL. Last two times I tried it I was using Yoper Linux, so I'm not sure what the answer is. Anyway, now I have something to work with. Have you given any thought to trying to this with DSL? It also is Debian based(well Knoppix based). Another ?, what keyboard map are you using on yours? I had to hunt and peck looking for the slash key, which i found as shift 7. I did start Fluxbox, but it will take a little configuration to use it. But, Im just thrilled to have it boot. Thank You. I wonder if your kernel would boot DSL, because it auto detects everything on boot up, I think it would be easier.

Caulktel - This is great news! What a journey this has been for you!

Congrats,

Chris

Thanks Chris, it has been quite a process. Now to get the sound working. I loaded some Shoutcast .pls files onto the CF card in the home directory and fired up Xmms only to find the sound is not working.

8363, did sound work for you? And thanks for the tip on the keymap.

i included the libraries for mpeg and wav .
I don't know what pls files are, but i go to www.shoutcast.com (with my
Desktop PC) and look for the IP of the CLUB 977 The 80s Channel
(http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1040) , then put this IP
on "play location" on the Netvistas Xmms and it works.
wav and mpegfiles on the cf-card are working to.
Maybe there is a library for pls files, but i don't put it on the system.
